Surly, Timmy & I talk about why I am in a foul mood, goaltending, the powerplay, have the Kings fans become spoiled, game five, Darren Pang sucking Doan and Smith off, the idiots within L.A.’s TV media, reader questions and more.

We had a few sound issues throughout. Somebody get us in a fucking studio.

Great show as always gentlemen, and yay! You pronounced my name right
Surly, I believe it was you who said the Lakers adopted the purple and gold color scheme after the Kings… I looked on the web and both teams had the same color scheme at the same time (1967)?

Regarding & explaining Darren Pang’s inexcusably biased announcing this series: do you guys remember where Pang was employed from 2005 through 2008? Between Darren’s stops at ESPN and the St. Louis Blues?

“I think the Coyotes wanted game 4 more than we did. But I think we’ll want game 5 more than they.”

… I was waiting for you to say why you think this way. What makes you think Phoenix will be less desperate in game 5 than they were in game 4?

“I fall back on history. Every time Jonathan Quick has had an average or a bad game, what has he followed it up with?”

“My sort of ‘go to’ is that if Quick has a pretty lousy game, he always bounces back.”

… I found this info in about a couple seconds, and this is for just this season – his best season. I’m sure I could find a lot more examples of this in his other seasons, if I were biased. But I’m not!

… Regardless of whether the instances show performance being marginally better, the fact of the matter is that six different times this season Quick followed up a poor performance with another poor performance. So, the notion that he “always” bounces back is a myth.

You truly don’t see how your question twisted the original statement to make it mean something other than what was said? Come on, this is fundamental logic here. It’s a slimy politician’s tactic to subtly change the focus of discussion.
